This blog is an exploration of life purpose -- why we are here; what matters. It examines the spiritual tasks and truths that help us navigate, to do what we came here to do. Despite our amnesia. Despite pain and fear and loss. In the garden of shadow and light we cling to the day and lose it. This blog is about seeing through the dark.

Number Forty Six

Consciousness -- both of the individual self and the collective whole -- constantly evolves. Because it must. If your are awake, you learn. You grow.

Consciousness uses what it gains. To make things. One definition of god is the ability to make something from nothing. The collective whole -- the sum of all awareness, the combined light of all souls -- has already made this universe. And perhaps others. As it evolves, it will make new, unimaginable places with which to interact and grow.

When you shine a light -- the brilliant white beam of collective consciousness -- through truth, it refracts. Into a new, suddenly visible spectrum. So what is impossible at one level of truth becomes commonplace at another. As consciousness evolves, it takes, for example, the truth of how a planet is made and turns it into unknown molecules with new laws of relationship. A new physics.

Consciousness is never complete. It can only keep learning. Growing. Becoming.
